ATTN ALL : SB249 CALL TO ACTION
Attention

We need everyone to reach out to All OUR SENATORS AND
ASSEMBLY and voice opposition to SB249 by phone, by e-mail, by
letter, twitter, face book, fax and, if you live in Sacramento, personal
visit.

What is SB249?

As it is currently worded SB249 will make it illegal to own an
item known as a conversion kit which has the sole purpose of
allowing a magazine to be removed from a fixed magazine rifle with
the use of a tool. At this time the term "conversion kit" is largely
undefined and so broadly described that it includes parts
commonly found on many center fire semiautomatic rifles. The
bill is vague enough that at this point its upper limits are unknown.
Furthermore, this bill will not provide for an Assault Weapons
Registry, or compensation for firearms or "conversion kits"
surrendered to law enforcement.

How to Help

When you contact everyone please remember the following:
1. Be Courteous - Let's make allies, not enemies.
2. Be Respectful - Just because you disagree, don't be rude.
3. Be Clear - Before contact, make a short list of talking points.
4. Be Relatable - Drop jargon (OLL, BB, C&R) and use
understandable language.
5. Be Succinct - Keep it short and sweet!
6. Be Persistent - Don't let them forget who you are! Call them
back the next week and the week after and so on!
7. Be Patient - Not everyone comes around first, second, or third try.

We need to make sure our voices are heard not just by
our fellow Second Amendment rights activists, but by our
opposition. We ask that you contact Senator Yee, the Safety
Committee, and the Appropriations Committee at least
once a day, every day. Remember that when you contact
Senator Yee, the Safety Committee, and the Appropriations
Committee you represent us all. Use the phone, your e-mail,
Twitter, Facebook, fax, and your mail box as often as you can.

Good luck, folks. Anything an Idaho guy can do, you let me know, OK?
The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

NRA-ILA is on it, I got a postcard from them yesterday.

The author of the bill has posted his disappointment that the bill will not be reviewed in Appropriations, thus the bill is
dead for this term.

His concession speech included that he is worried that more people will die before the bullet button loophole is closed.


This version of the bill is dead, but the author is not done with us yet.  Watch for new legislation!
